Saturday, August 19, 2023

12:00p - 1:00p It's About Time; An Introducing to Piezo-MEMS µSpeakers
Recent developments by xMEMS Labs, of Santa Clara, CA has resulted in a new transduction mechanism called Piezo-MEMS µSpeakers. Piezo-MEMS µSpeakers have unique attributes and inherent behaviors that out-class traditional coil based dynamic drivers and balanced armature receivers. xMEMS µSpeakers are fabricated in a semiconductor process, which results in highly uniform and precise transducers. These new µSpeakers are being used in consumer audio products including TWS earbuds and audiophile IEM as well as professional In Ear Monitors, and most recently, headphones. The presentation will include a technical primer covering theory of operation, design, fabrication, packaging, reliability and testing as well as listening demos of xMEMS latest Audiophile IEMs.
Presenter: Michael Ricci, Sr. Director of Electroacoustic Engineering, xMEMS Labs

2:00p - 3:00p Pro Audio vs Audiophilia - Two Worlds Collide
Pro audio and audiophile playback systems can often sound distinctly different, with seemingly fundamental clashes in their goals. While professionals typically insist on flat frequency response and detail, audiophiles tend to favor immersiveness and emotionality. And yet, these two worlds must collide to bring about the enjoyment that we all prize - but where? Join Chris Berens (Audeze Artist Relations) for some fascinating insights on the differences between pro audio and audiophile priorities, preferences, and products — and how we strangely end up hearing the same thing.
Presenter: Chris Berens, Artist Relations, Audeze

3:00p - 4:00p DAC Architectures: The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly
Although digital audio is ubiquitous these days, finding an optimal DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) remains a complicated, and often confusing, task. Join Rob Watts, Digital Design Consultant for Chord Electronics, as he explores the various DAC architectures commonly employed today, and breaks down the strengths and weaknesses of each. Finally, personal preferences aside, learn the objective criteria by which all digital-to-analog conversion methods should be judged for high fidelity audio applications.
Presenter: Rob Watts, Chord Electronics

2:00p - 3:00 How Interpolation Filters and Transients Crucially Affect Sound Quality
Join us for an invaluable hour of insight into how digital interpolation filters work. This seminar will cover: understanding the importance of interpolation filtering and transients; realizing just how much time domain performance can dictate fidelity and realism, and much more. If you didn’t understand any of that, and you are currently pursuing an endgame rig with a digital source, then this is one seminar you won’t want to miss.
Presenter: Rob Watts, Chord Electronics


3:00p - 4:00p Ask The Reviewers @ CanJam London 2023!
What was best-in-show at CanJam London 2023? Does burn-in exist? Do cables make a difference? How much power does the Susvara truly need? What is the best in-ear monitor or headphone, for my music, within my budget? You have questions, bring them to our panel of expert reviewers. Join Koji Ghafoor (Convince Me Audio), Jude Mansilla (Head-Fi.org), Cameron Oatley a.k.a. Goldensound (Headphones.com), and Oscar Stewart (HiFi Pig) as they answer them all live, and in real time!

My wife's taste in clothes and handbags is somewhat prohibitive in terms of remaining budget for audio .. Not sure if that's the way I would like to handle this

 

[vsg28]

I know the dates were announced last year itself but it's still worth mentioning that August is not a good idea for future CanJams in London because that's when most people go on family vacations.

I'll still be there though, will see how the hotel pricing will be in the area and book soon.

 

[Syan25]

I'd love to visit. Just can't afford the hotels since I live in Leeds not London. I've always dreamed of attending a CanJam.
